Study Designs to Assess Real-World Interventions to Prevent Covid-19
Background: In the face of the novel virus SARS-CoV-2, scientists and the public are eager for evidence about what measures are effective at slowing its spread and preventing morbidity and mortality. Other than mathematical modeling, studies thus far evaluating public health and behavioral interventions at scale have largely been observational and ecologic, focusing on aggregate summaries. Conclusions from these studies are susceptible to bias fr…
Assessment of an adolescent-girl-focused nutritional educational intervention within a girls’ empowerment programme
Objective: Adolescent girls are at risk for both macro- and micronutrient deficiencies affecting growth, maternal and child health. This study assessed the impact of an adolescent-girl-tailored nutritional education curriculum on nutritional outcomes, including knowledge, dietary behaviour, anthropometry and anaemia. Design: A cluster-randomised evaluation was conducted with two study arms: girls in mentor-led weekly girls’ groups receiving sexua…
The impact of the Adolescent Girls Empowerment Program (Agep) on short and long term social, economic, education and fertility outcomes
Background Adolescent girls in Zambia face risks and vulnerabilities that challenge their healthy development into young women: early marriage and childbearing, sexual and gender-based violence, unintended pregnancy and HIV.

Correlates of Contraceptive Use and Health Facility Choice among Young Women in Malawi
We explore whether differential access to family-planning services and the quality of those services explain variability in uptake of contraception among young women in Malawi. We accomplish this by linking the Malawi Schooling and Adolescent Study, a longitudinal survey of young people, with the Malawi Service Provision Assessment collected in 2013-14. We also identify factors that determine choice of facility among those who use contraception. …
